See Rocker Joan Jett On The Big Screen

By Chris Narloch

If you’re a fan of the iconic rocker Joan Jett (and who isn’t?), you can take a “hump day” entertainment break this Wednesday (9/26/18) evening and see “Bad Reputation,” the acclaimed new documentary about her life and career.

The documentary takes viewers on a journey through Joan Jett’s world, from her early years as founder of The Runaways to her status as rock icon, and this special version of the film will come packaged with an exclusive, brand new solo performance by Joan made specifically for early screenings.

Joan Jett is so much more than “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll.” True, she became mega-famous from the number-one hit, but that staple of popularity can’t properly define a musician.

Jett put her hard work in long before the fame, ripping it up onstage, and influencing many musicians as the backbone of The Runaways.

“Bad Reputation” gives fans a wild ride as Jett and her close friends tell viewers how it really was in the burgeoning ’70s punk scene, and their interviews are laced with amazing archival footage.

“Bad Reputation” plays this Wednesday evening, Sept. 26, at 7:00 p.m. at two area theaters, Century Roseville 14 and the Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center at the State Theatre. For more information, visit https://www.badreputationfilm.com.
